Today is the last day of the freakiest Winter ever (at least in Melbourne). Freezing one day, sun beating down the next, with weather like this the You’re Dripping Egg staff are seriously looking forward to Spring. While we are celebrating the coming of Spring, we’re also commiserating the loss of some of the finer […]

I like to eat – I’m not going to lie. It is with great pride that I can say that there have been few dishes in my life that have defeated me. After recently spending time in Vienna I have unfortunately had to add another dish to my list, just below the extra large pizza […]

Mudfest 2011 is the biennial Arts festival which runs at the University of Melbourne for 10 days (18th – 28th August). You’re Dripping Egg has teamed up with the (unofficial) guide for Mudfest, Muddy Leaks to review some of the best events that the 2011 Mudfest program has to offer. Our YDE: Mudfest 2011 staff […]
